What is Energy?Text Box: There are two main forms of energy: Kinetic and Potential. Potential energy is stored in lots of things including: fossil fuels, food and water, these are called fuels. Kinetic energy is not stored but used for example: when you walk, of when a car moves. Energy is only transferred never destroyed. But not all energy is useful, in a torch only 5% of the energy stored in the battery is converted in to light, other parts of the energy is transferred into movement (vibration), heat and sound (humming).  But to get this energy we are using fossil fuels and they are running out, we must convert our energy supply to wind turbines, solar power, nuclear or other supplies that do not use fossil fuels.
